Could you explain here how to answer why Genesis chapters 1 and 2 are so different and look like they contradict each other, in particular in the sequence of events, the order in which plant life and humans were created? Without referring to the videos in your description?
@@penttimuhli9442 I’ve never thought of the two chapters contradicting each other, so this was a new one for me. Thanks for bringing it up! I did some brief research and this is what I found. th-cam.com/video/szkMZO2vDNQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L_okUTnQvRy2yS2O th-cam.com/video/MUtxVr9tuLU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-_c45V-RHp9BL19r There’s plenty of more information out there. You just need to do some research and have an open heart. God bless you!
Great video! I can tell you really have a heart for people. And everything you said here is absolutely correct. You have won me over as a new subscriber and I am looking forward to watching your past videos too. Keep it up!
So glad I have never lost my faith I truly believe in Jesus having been through so much surgery and medical complications. Hope that this young lady finds her way back to Christ. John 3:16 For God So Loved the World.
Born in a non Christian country, surrounded by gentiles all my life, there is a CLEAR effect on our way of thinking and outlook of life. Things like Karma, horoscopes, voodoo etc are very prevalent while Confession, mercy and suffering for Christ are misunderstood. I’d love to be dragged back into the “Christian bubble”. These people who crave multiculturalism have, have no idea how difficult it is to be Christian among gentiles!
Great video. I hear these same arguments all the time, even from my ex-wife. The truth is out there (in the Bible, and in testimonies), but the media and entertainment industry have done a great job of convincing people that they don't need God's truth, they can get along just fine in life with the enemies truth.
@@maxpotenza9868 I found your comment fascinating. Usually it’s men that leave the faith, not women. Curious: Would you believe testimonies for any other supernatural claim outside the Bible?
@@melbied6215 Yes, I would believe someone's testimony of any other supernatural claim outside of the Bible as being the truth from the perspective of their belief system, but I view it through the spiritual lenses of my Biblical belief system. For example, if someone testified that they had an encounter with an spiritual guide that revealed to them something from their past that no one else could ever have known, then I would believe that that did happened to them. However, I see it as a medium communicating with the spiritual world against God's will - Leviticus 19:31. So this is a tricky question to answer because "yes" I can believe supernatural testimonies outside of the Bible, but "no". because I seem to find a way to always bring it back to the Bible.
20:03 I would throw this right back in a Christians face and say: You only find Christianity to be true because you want it to be true and therefore only accept evidence that confirms your desire. This is what you just said about an Atheist. If both sides can throw the same argument at each other, it isn't a point worth making.
One problem is understanding what is meant by having a personal relationship with Jesus, where it is used as a vague term and seems to mean different things to different Christians. You mention about having your heart in the right place to see the same debate differently and I would somewhat agree, meaning if you replace heart with emotions, an irrational person will see the same debate differently than a rational person. It is not even just about how rational a person is but also how knowledgeable a person is, meaning you can see the same debate differently if you are unable to catch the mistakes made because you don't know enough to recognize them as mistakes. Whether it be irrationality or a level of cognitive dissonance, the individual is often unaware they are the ones not seeing reality properly. I think there are plenty of good emotional reasons to become a Christian, but intellectually it is far less defensible. This statement doesn't make sense to a Christian, but it makes a lot of sense to an ex-Christian. Put differently, it is in asking the right questions that causes people to intellectually see Christianity has no good answers. This doesn't necessarily mean there is no truth in the biblical God and Jesus, it only means there are problems with the writers delivering that truth and Christians giving poor reasoning and excuses to defend the writers. It also doesn't mean the writers got it all wrong, there are plenty of truths in the bible that even non-Christians can agree with. Unfortunately it is the most important issues of Christianity that are ambiguous and lack good support where you either accept it and believe or you don't. If a personal relationship with Jesus actually meant Jesus was directly talking to you, it wouldn't matter what the bible says because you are directly connected to the source. However, I don't think this is what Christians have, they either mean Jesus is talking to them through the bible or they believe Jesus is talking to them through signs that they interpret or both. This could mean you need a level of cognitive dissonance to have that relationship, which also means when that cognitive dissonance dissipates, you are left with an ex-Christian, which happens frequently and not just to the common folks but with people who really know the bible and its history where we have ex-preachers, ex-ministers, ex- priests and biblical scholars who study the bible and its history and are not persuaded to become Christians. So my question to you is what do you mean by a personal relationship with Jesus? Atheists certainly have beliefs but atheism is technically not a belief or belief system. You have to look at it from the perspective of who is claiming "something". Theists are claiming a God exists. The reasonable question to ask is how do you know of this existence? Theists cannot answer this question to a degree of satisfaction to "know" that a God exists, thus you have people who don't believe the claim to be true, but they also cannot know the claim is false. This leads to agnosticism and agnostic atheists. Some atheists actively believe no Gods exists, but most atheists are agnostic atheists, meaning they are certainly open to a case for God existing being made, but have not yet found that case. However, reasonable people if a Godly Intelligence is discovered to be required, will ask how many Gods/Goddesses are involved? If it could be learned that a single God is involved, are any religions about this God correct? If no religion is 100% correct, which religions contain partial truths and what are those truths? Most Christians skip this line of reasoning and just jump to what they want to believe or what they have been taught to believe.
@@danielvargas9100 Isn't a relationship a back and forth sharing between two or more people? People know people but relationships end. Am I missing something that would help understand what you really mean?
@@scottguitar8168 first, God is a Spirit. No one can prove Him to you. Spirits don’t have flesh, and can’t be seen with the human eye. You can’t see your spirit. Anyways, to me, knowing God means you learn to trust him. Like in a marriage, you learn how to trust each other over time. God isn’t going to interact with you like a human would. He interacts in a deeper level from Spirit to spirit. I can expand on that if you’d like. But if you need external evidence for the God of Israel today, look at UN2030, the evolution of artificial intelligence, the fact that Jews are in the land of Palestine today, the gospel message has survived 2000 years, nuclear war rumors, and the Middle East conflict. All this is going on NOW. No coincidence
Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with the power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. We let the spirit of Christ enter our hearts so that we are changed. This passage talks about the love of Christ surpassing our knowledge, the knowledge of what a typical relationship would look like in your case. If we seek God with all our heart, we will find him.
When she started talking about God like one might talk about a toxic ex-boyfriend or something...😅 God isn't "lacking boundaries". He isn't full of "red flags". (How would one even begin to set boundaries with God? "Listen I really like you, but you have to stop calling me at 3am every day"???? 🤨 I don't think that's how it works.) He literally created us, He wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with us and He's deeply saddened that so many of us are choosing to walk away from Him. We call Him our Father, but how we see the term "father" in an earthly sense doesn't even come close to Him and His love for us. I think this lady is deeply hurt and she's projecting something onto God. Her mother was/is an addict which probably gives us a clue and even though she didn't elaborate on what her dad was like, he did die when she was young and that alone can be very traumatizing. Oh and she grew up as a fundamentalist... I know not all fundamentalists are cray-cray, but there are some really unhinged ones and it may very well be that the church she used to go to was horrible at its job. I'm really sad that when she began questioning her faith and God, instead of trying to find out information to strengthen her faith she seems to have just thought "oh well what's the point here, I'm already doubting so f it." 😢 Personally I never knew true faith when I was growing up, I even tried to find a meaning from paganism and atheism when I wad a teenager... Lord never forgot me, He never gave up on me, never stopped calling me home. Before I came to Christ, me and my husband had been trying for a baby for six months with no success. One day I visited a church and I was flooded with emotions... just days before I'd made yet another negative pregnancy test, I felt lost and had began thinking that something is wrong with me. I wasn't intentionally praying, but God heard my thoughts, because literally thr next month we found out that we're having a baby. If that wasn't a "girl hellooo, I'm here???" from Him, I don't know what was, because even though didn't start believing right then, I never forgot what had happened. It took four years, but I got there. My life is forever changed and every day I thank Lord for not giving up on me, a foolish sheep wandering in the desert, He remembered me by name out of millions of others and searched for me. Now I'm a catechumen in my local orthodox church, the very same one that I visited all those years ago.
I don’t know her, so can’t be absolutely certain, but I am 99.99% sure she cried out to Jesus for a sign before leaving the faith. Just like the rest of us did. And she got crickets. Just like the rest of us did.
exactly. I was christian, was losing my faith, and asked for help from the 'horses mouth". Unsurprisngly, nothing happened, and every christian blames me for their imaginary friend's failure.
@@danielvargas9100 and you have the qu'ran there too. Funny how books are meaningless when it come to fairy tales. that christians cna't agree on what their bible even means is notable and shows just how worthless it is as "evidence".
@@danielvargas9100 Have you read that book? When I read it I learned that everything people said about Jesus was wrong. He didn't claim to be a god, thought the world was going to end within a generation or two, and was being forced by some Greek writers to fit into some prophecies that only barely fit if you were trusting bad Greek translations of the original Hebrew.
So often "I was not allowed to question" truly God loves your questions, question question question! Question him. Ask, seek and you will find. Knock and the door will open. 🙏For her to find Him🙏
That is your life journey and experiences and glad you seem happy with your soul changes. Athiests are individuals with their own life journey and I know a few. They can't all be put in the same box . ❤
@@LoudHadida it's the truth though I never knew Jesus while I was an atheist I believed nothing came from nothing which is nonsense. It wasn't until I was having a conversation with a Christian girl I was working with at the time and I said to her you prove to me Jesus is real and I was angry and she said she couldn't only He could n later that night God showed up lifted the veil from my eyes and let me see
@@jenshively5447 How could you possibly know that? Did Jesus give you mind-reading powers when you became a Christian? Just because you didn’t doesn’t mean the rest of didn’t. I certainly did. Multiple times.
The problem is that, many Christians don't understand that bible is not the word of God but God talked, continues to talk and will talk to people is through the bible. The bible is not the science book but the spiritual book. In fact when people find a apparent contradiction in a bible ( the print paper ), they consolidate thier doubt. So people need the word of God, the verb not the bible, the verb is spiritual. It's the verb which breaks any doubts, which breaks a stone heart. More than that the true faith needs experience like demonstrative faith like : miracles, spiritual uncounter, goodly dreams, etc.
@@denisloumbele8158 You’re right. So what happens when we don’t get the miracles or supernatural *encounters*? Ever? *I’m dismissing dreams, because they’re just that, dreams.*
@@melbied6215 in a night of October 2020 when I was atheist and philosophy, God showed me in a vision, not in a dream but IN A VISION, the HAVEN and the HELL. continue to read the bible and ask God for evidence. Now I ask you, please follow my instruction, read the bible from Genesis to Apocalyse and when to will be reading it, ask God for a sign, for a evidence. God said " If you seek me, I will leave myself find by you ".
While it's common on the larger apologetics channels, it's unusual to see so many sneering comments from atheists on a smaller "Christian living" channel. I seriously wonder if it's because (judging by your accent) you are a born-again Christian in a highly secular European country. This may annoy some anti-religion big0ts because it challenges ideas they take comfort in, including that Christianity is dead in the West and that people only become Christian because their family and culture are Christian
I feel you focused too much on "correcting" this girls testimony rather than trying to listen or understand it. For example she brings up how hell isnt in the old testament, you showed a video of a guy saying yes "hell" isnt in the bible and that that people can more or less compare it to hell, then you say something contrary and sat that hell is separation of god instead of the torment that the bible and the clip you brought up said. But to flatly say that the bible doesnt have mistakes is just incredibly ignorant. I dont mean that as an insult though it might be insulting. There are hundreds to thousands of mistakes in the bible and even the theology. To flatly say its perfect is either dishonest or ignorant. It doesnt take much effort to think of examples or research them like you suggested. The sun, stars, and sky is not evidence that a god exists. I dont think i need to explain why as its common sense. Atheism isnt a religion. Worshipping jesus or "having a relationship with jesus" is part of a religion... Overall i feel this entire video is redundant with any familiarity with christian theology or apologetics.
Hell is all over the Old Testament. For example, Deuteronomy 32:22 [22]For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. Or Job 11:8 [8]It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? Or how about Psalms 9:17 [17]The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Hell is mentioned 33 times in the Old Testament. The problem is that most people make claims and have never even read the entire Bible. Jesus Christ and Christianity is not a religion but a narrow doorway that not many will enter due to lustful, selfish, and perverted ways that are chosen over the Almighty love of Jesus Christ. Religion was created by man because of indifferences.
@@7Sheepdog7Hell was not a Hebrew word. Do some research on what those words actually meant in Hebrew. They didn't mean a place people go after that die as punishment for not believing. That simply wasn't a concept in ancient Mesopotamia
I do not know what this woman did for research. However it seems too easy to end up at websites and videos that really just start off atheist and end up there too. It is like sheep going into the middle of foxes to find safety. Then those uncertain in Christianity go there instead of finding something more positive -- like professors who were atheist but then became Christians. Lesbian Women's Studies Professor Comes to Christ: Rosaria Butterfield presents an great example.
Exactly! It’s so easy to find information nowadays and all these arguments they use are so was debunked if you just go out and search for those answers. God bless you!❤️🙏
There are no contradictions in the Bible.... or rather they are different view points for different times. You need to understand the context. Plus depends on how you interpret it a lot of the time, and most of the time it doesn't condtradict.
I have personal relationship with Alonzo Decker, of Black and Decker, who created the world at 9.25 am on 9th September, 1910. The Bible and its claims about salvation are false. The true path to redemption requires the acquistion and responsible use of Black and Decker products.

The OT does mention eternal flames: *And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.* [Isaias (Isaiah) 66:24]
You gotta really listen to unbelievers on why they don’t believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life. As much as they try to be logical about it, it’s usually ill feelings and they eventually let it out. I got a friend that says there’s no evidence and he tries to get philosophical about it, but like I said, eventually that ill feeling comes out. He said, “I didn’t ask that man to die for me” Jesus willingly laid down his life for the sins of humanity, but he has risen. Whoever believes he him will have eternal life. John 3:16.
@Comeonman4reel But didn’t thousands upon thousands of soldiers lay down their lives for us ? Or even construction workers on a bridge ? To many people this bloody horrible sacrifice, which was really a lynching if you read the story, makes no sense. Black people were lynched many times here in the US. Who or what did they die for. A god could have just forgiven people as a parent forgives a child.
@@blackfly56 You kinda went everywhere with this, so I’ll simply it for you. All humans are sinful and nobody is good. Thats why Jesus Christ who is God in human flesh came down to earth to die for the sins of humanity. Whoever believes in him for eternal life will have it which is heaven. None of our good deeds, good intentions or admiration from others will get anybody in heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross will get anyone in The Kingdom
You know, I think the vast majority of people don't know or didn't even hear about the basics of Christianity, that's why they have so much misconceptions and stereotipes and misunderstandings, it's like they base their knowledge only on rumors or on stuff that someone said... I remember myself when I was an atheist and looking at things now I realize that all I knew about Christianity was maybe like 2% idk)

I left my thoughts and they were deleted. That's usually a sign people are hiding something, and often these channels only want comments that are praising them or agreeing with them. If the channel owner has to do this, think about what that means other than they're actively trying to persuade people to their side. It means they're aware that their religion is questionable, and they still choose to follow it anyway. That is the sign of a close-minded person who doesn't care about truth and if they don't care about the truth you shouldn't trust them.

He tells us to know him we need to develop the personal Relationship with him, we can't understand the whole entire way. That he is, but I know that it is a God family. Because in the beginning, we were created in their image. If you read in Genesis, they're all the words our image and us.

@@nickh.9816 Not really. He called out the Pharisees because he was (likely) an Essene. Much like Protestant denominations, there were, and still are, different sects of Judaism. It’s like a Baptist calling out a Presbyterian for their “heresies”. Same religion, just a different sect.
The mindset of the human/God relationship being unhealthy comes from our culture not understanding the holiness and uniqueness of God. People think "well, I wouldn't have done that thing that God did." Which is true and good, because we are people who have no right to pronounce judgement in the way that God does. We think of God as another person like us instead of the all good, all powerful creator of everything. That confuses our understanding of the relationship between God and man.
Nope. It’s unhealthy because the Bible demonstrates the Christian gods having a desire and preference for one thing then often doing the opposite. He doesn’t follow his own word or example; and thus is not perfect.
This sounds like special pleading. We can't hold God to a standard because we cannot understand God's holiness and uniqueness and His relationship to humans? That makes no sense.
Dont need to base a relationship with GOD on silly modern worries like toxicity and red flags. That language used against GOD was so yrendy and silly. I believe that many lose heart in protestantism but feel much more secure if they enter the Catholic Church. I was once writing a book against Catholics then became a Catholic and felt true Peace.
@danielvargas9100 because the bible is contradictory and misleading. It has been used to promote murder and slavery while also used to say that slavery is wrong. If it were absolute truth we wouldn't have 3 major religions and thousands of denomination all at war with it each other since it was written( by men )
@danielvargas9100 because the bible is vague, contradicting and wrong about alot of shit. So it doesn't matter who the pastor is, the bible is gonna produce confusion. And let's test that. Hmm 3 different major religions based off the abrahamic relgion. Of Christianity alone contains hundreds if not thousands of denomination.

You don't follow christ either. The guy named Yeshua born in Nazareth believed we should give away all our possessions and prepare for the end of times. You're just asserting that belief=religion and that your belief in Jesus is correct. Question for you: Is there anything that isn't designed? How can you say "of course the universe is designed. Look how complicated it is!" If you believe the simplist things are designed.
I've met God. God is very real. The young lady has chosen to blame God for her troubles, and the only way to do that is to distance herself from him. Hopefully, she will make that connection with Jesus before it's too late.
Guess you're just another forgetful Christian who didn't remember to use their phone so record their "very real" meeting with their god. As an aside nobody is blaming a deity that they don't believe is real for their "troubles".
This is such a hard thing to watch. Yes, there is proof of God even if you were to go with The Big Bang Theory. What created the big Bang? Something outside of space and time, something that spoke forth Energy waves.
What "created" the big bang. Answer "nobody knows". The greatest scientific minds on the planet have some hypotheses, but unfortunately I don't understand the language of the insanely complex math that underpins these ideas. What I do know however is that none of them conclude that a god did it.
It wouldn't be proof. That's a god of the gaps argument. Even if that is true the god of the bible is not real and it along with most religious texts are man made mythology. The god you talk about is just a like spinozas god where god is the force of nature. But a god like that is not even a conscious agent but a force like gravity
@@downenout8705the big bang is a Christian idea, Also science and atheism has no answer either. They simply remain happily in the dark that there is no answer or that one day we’ll answer it somehow. Big panel of atheists and naturalists recently had a round table where they discuss a lot of these topics….Dawkins and the like They all admitted that life and the fine tuning of the universe itself demands that’s there is evidence of design and purposeful resource management on a cellular level… but to remind themselves that it’s not a god. That sounds like a science of the Gaps…. Enlightenment thinkers and modern science was literally born out of Christian values, and the few atheist enlightment thinkers that were vocal will make u think their shit don’t stink. Hume and Voltaire said some repugnant things about dark people.
@downenout8705 I'll tell you what created the big bang. I learned it in science class. Energy waves, which are vibrations for more than likely. The big bangs creation when we speak. We produce energy. God spoke the world into existence, so he created the big bang. God is spiritual outside of time and space. It's also energy. We can not see the wind, but we can feel it.
I agree something had to CAUSE (using the word “create” smuggles in your conclusion) the Big Bang. Of course we don’t know yet, but much more likely it was quantum fields, which we have actual evidence for. First you would need to have evidence this God exists before you can even begin to ascribe actions to it.
On a serious note, you think heaven and he'll are real. Do you simply have to follow jesus to get into heaven? Are Muslims going to your hell? Who gets to come with you to heaven. You seriously think because this girl doubts and rationally comes to a conclusion different than you means she going to hell. What if she became atheist but tried to live a life as moral perfectionist. Does she go to hell still?? Hell ain't real bub neither is heaven. Keep believing in fairytale and judging people.
I think the Bible looks like a book of contradictions to everyone. But over time and with God's help those contradictions fade away. I think some people not all but some look for faults to justify going back to their sinful lives so they can claim this is one big lie. TC
It is beyond ridiculous to suggest that someone would leave Christianity to sin, because doing so guarantees damnation even if you never sin. Staying Christian however allows you to sin without consequence providing you repent. If you truly want to know why someone isn't a Christian just ask yourself why aren't you a Muslim or Hindu? I bet the answer isn't "because I want to sin against these gods".
You "think"? That's silly. People do not generally leave religion to justify going back to "sinful" lives. When I left my faith, I wasn't looking for faults, I was looking for truth. The claims of Christianity didn't hold up under scrutiny. It's that simple.

When you cross, reference the Bible and examine each and every verse. You will find out that it does not contradict itself. And that God is extremely clear and what his expectations are or desires are for us. And you will find his desires are good. Yes, he has to dish out Justice. But he does not want anybody to go to hell. Just read second, Peter 3 and you will see.
The bible can not go past its first 2 chapters before it contradict itself. Genesis 1 and 2 don't have the same order of creation. In genesis 1: plants > animal > humans(male and female) In genesis 2: human male > plants > animals > human female
@drinjj I believe you were misinterpreting it. The part in Genesis 2 you are referring to is talking about when God made a garden. In addition to the creation he had already made. I hope you are choosing to read the whole entire chapter. It'll give you a better understanding. I just narrowing in. Sometimes, even chapters are not completion of thought So you may have to read all the way into the next chapter to know when the essay is done or literature is done. Because the Bible was not originally made with chapters, it is actually a library of books. on a verse here or there....
@@zariahlafleurpowell7028 oh, I'm not misinterpreting. Genesis 2:5 say there was no plant yet. So the garden god planted was actually the first plants. Also, even if you were right, you would still be left to explain the contradiction about which came first: animals or humans.
@drinjj I am sorry but when you read verse 4. End 5 it says God had created the plants before the people. They may not have been on the Earth or in the earth, but they were created before people.
@@zariahlafleurpowell7028 i dont agree with your interpretation of 4-5 but in willing to grant it to you. You still have the same problem. Gen 1 state that they were in the ground and growing and producing fruits. Even if the problem is not about the "creation" anymore you still have a contradiction with the order of events. And you have yet to explain the issue with animals.
Just to correct one common mistake... Hell is NOT simply "total separation from God". Hell is total separation from God's love, mercy, grace. God will be present in Hell, and those there will be fully in the presence of His wrath. So many that reject the Gospel say "I don't want to be with your God for eternity anyways"... well, they WILL be with Him.

I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night- but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.”
It takes work to research to find the contradicti. Since or not there, it takes work to find that there are contradictions. A lot of contradictions are simply misunderstandings

Born in a non Christian country, surrounded by gentiles all my life, there is a CLEAR effect on our way of thinking and outlook of life. Things like Karma, horoscopes, voodoo etc are very prevalent while Confession, mercy and suffering for Christ are misunderstood.
I’d love to be dragged back into the “Christian bubble”. These people who crave multiculturalism have, have no idea how difficult it is to be Christian among gentiles!
Great video.
I hear these same arguments all the time, even from my ex-wife.
The truth is out there (in the Bible, and in testimonies), but the media and entertainment industry have done a great job of convincing people that they don't need God's truth, they can get along just fine in life with the enemies truth.
@@maxpotenza9868 I found your comment fascinating. Usually it’s men that leave the faith, not women.
Curious: Would you believe testimonies for any other supernatural claim outside the Bible?
@@melbied6215 Yes, I would believe someone's testimony of any other supernatural claim outside of the Bible as being the truth from the perspective of their belief system, but I view it through the spiritual lenses of my Biblical belief system.
For example, if someone testified that they had an encounter with an spiritual guide that revealed to them something from their past that no one else could ever have known, then I would believe that that did happened to them. However, I see it as a medium communicating with the spiritual world against God's will - Leviticus 19:31.
So this is a tricky question to answer because "yes" I can believe supernatural testimonies outside of the Bible, but "no". because I seem to find a way to always bring it back to the Bible.
20:03 I would throw this right back in a Christians face and say: You only find Christianity to be true because you want it to be true and therefore only accept evidence that confirms your desire.
This is what you just said about an Atheist. If both sides can throw the same argument at each other, it isn't a point worth making.
@@jarednotter1354 it’s true because it’s true. You haven’t understood the Bible at all with a statement like that. The evidence is overwhelming
Except that the evidence supporting Christianity is so overwhelming you have to be willingly ignorant to reject it.
This is because you are seeking Religion. All Religions are false. But God is not Religion. Seek God and not god. Seek Truth and not justification.
@@kevinerose I was seeking God for the first 20 years of my life and found nothing. If God exists and cares to know me he can do the seeking now.
@@jarednotter1354 May I ask. What were you seeking God for?
One problem is understanding what is meant by having a personal relationship with Jesus, where it is used as a vague term and seems to mean different things to different Christians. You mention about having your heart in the right place to see the same debate differently and I would somewhat agree, meaning if you replace heart with emotions, an irrational person will see the same debate differently than a rational person. It is not even just about how rational a person is but also how knowledgeable a person is, meaning you can see the same debate differently if you are unable to catch the mistakes made because you don't know enough to recognize them as mistakes. Whether it be irrationality or a level of cognitive dissonance, the individual is often unaware they are the ones not seeing reality properly.
I think there are plenty of good emotional reasons to become a Christian, but intellectually it is far less defensible. This statement doesn't make sense to a Christian, but it makes a lot of sense to an ex-Christian. Put differently, it is in asking the right questions that causes people to intellectually see Christianity has no good answers. This doesn't necessarily mean there is no truth in the biblical God and Jesus, it only means there are problems with the writers delivering that truth and Christians giving poor reasoning and excuses to defend the writers. It also doesn't mean the writers got it all wrong, there are plenty of truths in the bible that even non-Christians can agree with. Unfortunately it is the most important issues of Christianity that are ambiguous and lack good support where you either accept it and believe or you don't.
If a personal relationship with Jesus actually meant Jesus was directly talking to you, it wouldn't matter what the bible says because you are directly connected to the source. However, I don't think this is what Christians have, they either mean Jesus is talking to them through the bible or they believe Jesus is talking to them through signs that they interpret or both. This could mean you need a level of cognitive dissonance to have that relationship, which also means when that cognitive dissonance dissipates, you are left with an ex-Christian, which happens frequently and not just to the common folks but with people who really know the bible and its history where we have ex-preachers, ex-ministers, ex- priests and biblical scholars who study the bible and its history and are not persuaded to become Christians. So my question to you is what do you mean by a personal relationship with Jesus?
Atheists certainly have beliefs but atheism is technically not a belief or belief system. You have to look at it from the perspective of who is claiming "something". Theists are claiming a God exists. The reasonable question to ask is how do you know of this existence? Theists cannot answer this question to a degree of satisfaction to "know" that a God exists, thus you have people who don't believe the claim to be true, but they also cannot know the claim is false. This leads to agnosticism and agnostic atheists. Some atheists actively believe no Gods exists, but most atheists are agnostic atheists, meaning they are certainly open to a case for God existing being made, but have not yet found that case. However, reasonable people if a Godly Intelligence is discovered to be required, will ask how many Gods/Goddesses are involved? If it could be learned that a single God is involved, are any religions about this God correct? If no religion is 100% correct, which religions contain partial truths and what are those truths? Most Christians skip this line of reasoning and just jump to what they want to believe or what they have been taught to believe.
@@scottguitar8168 knowing God is a relationship.
@@danielvargas9100 Isn't a relationship a back and forth sharing between two or more people? People know people but relationships end. Am I missing something that would help understand what you really mean?
@@scottguitar8168 first, God is a Spirit. No one can prove Him to you. Spirits don’t have flesh, and can’t be seen with the human eye. You can’t see your spirit. Anyways, to me, knowing God means you learn to trust him. Like in a marriage, you learn how to trust each other over time. God isn’t going to interact with you like a human would. He interacts in a deeper level from Spirit to spirit. I can expand on that if you’d like. But if you need external evidence for the God of Israel today, look at UN2030, the evolution of artificial intelligence, the fact that Jews are in the land of Palestine today, the gospel message has survived 2000 years, nuclear war rumors, and the Middle East conflict. All this is going on NOW. No coincidence
@@scottguitar8168 I do think Christianity is the correct way to God
Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with the power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
We let the spirit of Christ enter our hearts so that we are changed. This passage talks about the love of Christ surpassing our knowledge, the knowledge of what a typical relationship would look like in your case. If we seek God with all our heart, we will find him.
When she started talking about God like one might talk about a toxic ex-boyfriend or something...😅 God isn't "lacking boundaries". He isn't full of "red flags". (How would one even begin to set boundaries with God? "Listen I really like you, but you have to stop calling me at 3am every day"???? 🤨 I don't think that's how it works.)
He literally created us, He wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with us and He's deeply saddened that so many of us are choosing to walk away from Him. We call Him our Father, but how we see the term "father" in an earthly sense doesn't even come close to Him and His love for us.
I think this lady is deeply hurt and she's projecting something onto God. Her mother was/is an addict which probably gives us a clue and even though she didn't elaborate on what her dad was like, he did die when she was young and that alone can be very traumatizing. Oh and she grew up as a fundamentalist... I know not all fundamentalists are cray-cray, but there are some really unhinged ones and it may very well be that the church she used to go to was horrible at its job.
I'm really sad that when she began questioning her faith and God, instead of trying to find out information to strengthen her faith she seems to have just thought "oh well what's the point here, I'm already doubting so f it." 😢
Personally I never knew true faith when I was growing up, I even tried to find a meaning from paganism and atheism when I wad a teenager... Lord never forgot me, He never gave up on me, never stopped calling me home. Before I came to Christ, me and my husband had been trying for a baby for six months with no success. One day I visited a church and I was flooded with emotions... just days before I'd made yet another negative pregnancy test, I felt lost and had began thinking that something is wrong with me. I wasn't intentionally praying, but God heard my thoughts, because literally thr next month we found out that we're having a baby. If that wasn't a "girl hellooo, I'm here???" from Him, I don't know what was, because even though didn't start believing right then, I never forgot what had happened. It took four years, but I got there. My life is forever changed and every day I thank Lord for not giving up on me, a foolish sheep wandering in the desert, He remembered me by name out of millions of others and searched for me. Now I'm a catechumen in my local orthodox church, the very same one that I visited all those years ago.
I don’t know her, so can’t be absolutely certain, but I am 99.99% sure she cried out to Jesus for a sign before leaving the faith. Just like the rest of us did. And she got crickets. Just like the rest of us did.
A sign? You have the entire Bible for sale at Walmart for $13.
exactly. I was christian, was losing my faith, and asked for help from the 'horses mouth". Unsurprisngly, nothing happened, and every christian blames me for their imaginary friend's failure.
@@danielvargas9100 and you have the qu'ran there too. Funny how books are meaningless when it come to fairy tales. that christians cna't agree on what their bible even means is notable and shows just how worthless it is as "evidence".
@@velkyn1 there’s a Bible.
@@danielvargas9100 Have you read that book? When I read it I learned that everything people said about Jesus was wrong. He didn't claim to be a god, thought the world was going to end within a generation or two, and was being forced by some Greek writers to fit into some prophecies that only barely fit if you were trusting bad Greek translations of the original Hebrew.

@@melbied6215 because it's common sense and honestly if you're a Christian you would understand the truth but you just seem to want to argue
The problem is that, many Christians don't understand that bible is not the word of God but God talked, continues to talk and will talk to people is through the bible. The bible is not the science book but the spiritual book.
In fact when people find a apparent contradiction in a bible ( the print paper ), they consolidate thier doubt.
So people need the word of God, the verb not the bible, the verb is spiritual. It's the verb which breaks any doubts, which breaks a stone heart.
More than that the true faith needs experience like demonstrative faith like : miracles, spiritual uncounter, goodly dreams, etc.
@@denisloumbele8158 You’re right. So what happens when we don’t get the miracles or supernatural *encounters*? Ever?

While it's common on the larger apologetics channels, it's unusual to see so many sneering comments from atheists on a smaller "Christian living" channel. I seriously wonder if it's because (judging by your accent) you are a born-again Christian in a highly secular European country. This may annoy some anti-religion big0ts because it challenges ideas they take comfort in, including that Christianity is dead in the West and that people only become Christian because their family and culture are Christian
Could be, either way it won’t stop me from making videos ❤️🙏 God bless you! ❤️❤️
I agree, and it makes me sad too - See Matthew 13: 6-7
I feel you focused too much on "correcting" this girls testimony rather than trying to listen or understand it.
For example she brings up how hell isnt in the old testament, you showed a video of a guy saying yes "hell" isnt in the bible and that that people can more or less compare it to hell, then you say something contrary and sat that hell is separation of god instead of the torment that the bible and the clip you brought up said.
But to flatly say that the bible doesnt have mistakes is just incredibly ignorant. I dont mean that as an insult though it might be insulting. There are hundreds to thousands of mistakes in the bible and even the theology. To flatly say its perfect is either dishonest or ignorant. It doesnt take much effort to think of examples or research them like you suggested.
The sun, stars, and sky is not evidence that a god exists. I dont think i need to explain why as its common sense.
Atheism isnt a religion. Worshipping jesus or "having a relationship with jesus" is part of a religion...
Overall i feel this entire video is redundant with any familiarity with christian theology or apologetics.
Atheism is definitely a religion. The most important part of being an atheist is to deny that it’s a religion.
Hell is all over the Old Testament. For example, Deuteronomy 32:22
[22]For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. Or Job 11:8
[8]It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? Or how about Psalms 9:17
[17]The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Hell is mentioned 33 times in the Old Testament. The problem is that most people make claims and have never even read the entire Bible. Jesus Christ and Christianity is not a religion but a narrow doorway that not many will enter due to lustful, selfish, and perverted ways that are chosen over the Almighty love of Jesus Christ. Religion was created by man because of indifferences.
@7Sheepdog7 isn't this the translation issue the bald guy was talking about? For example I'm pretty sure the original word in duet 32 22 was "shoel".
@@7Sheepdog7Hell was not a Hebrew word. Do some research on what those words actually meant in Hebrew. They didn't mean a place people go after that die as punishment for not believing. That simply wasn't a concept in ancient Mesopotamia
I do not know what this woman did for research. However it seems too easy to end up at websites and videos that really just start off atheist and end up there too. It is like sheep going into the middle of foxes to find safety. Then those uncertain in Christianity go there instead of finding something more positive -- like professors who were atheist but then became Christians. Lesbian Women's Studies Professor Comes to Christ: Rosaria Butterfield presents an great example.
Exactly! It’s so easy to find information nowadays and all these arguments they use are so was debunked if you just go out and search for those answers. God bless you!❤️🙏
There are no contradictions in the Bible.... or rather they are different view points for different times. You need to understand the context. Plus depends on how you interpret it a lot of the time, and most of the time it doesn't condtradict.
I have personal relationship with Alonzo Decker, of Black and Decker, who created the world at 9.25 am on 9th September, 1910. The Bible and its claims about salvation are false. The true path to redemption requires the acquistion and responsible use of Black and Decker products.

You gotta really listen to unbelievers on why they don’t believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life. As much as they try to be logical about it, it’s usually ill feelings and they eventually let it out. I got a friend that says there’s no evidence and he tries to get philosophical about it, but like I said, eventually that ill feeling comes out. He said,
“I didn’t ask that man to die for me”

@Comeonman4reel But didn’t thousands upon thousands of soldiers lay down their lives for us ? Or even construction workers on a bridge ? To many people this bloody horrible sacrifice, which was really a lynching if you read the story, makes no sense. Black people were lynched many times here in the US. Who or what did they die for. A god could have just forgiven people as a parent forgives a child.
@@blackfly56 You kinda went everywhere with this, so I’ll simply it for you. All humans are sinful and nobody is good. Thats why Jesus Christ who is God in human flesh came down to earth to die for the sins of humanity. Whoever believes in him for eternal life will have it which is heaven. None of our good deeds, good intentions or admiration from others will get anybody in heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross will get anyone in The Kingdom

The mindset of the human/God relationship being unhealthy comes from our culture not understanding the holiness and uniqueness of God. People think "well, I wouldn't have done that thing that God did." Which is true and good, because we are people who have no right to pronounce judgement in the way that God does. We think of God as another person like us instead of the all good, all powerful creator of everything. That confuses our understanding of the relationship between God and man.
@@owlintrenchcoatSuch a good point!
Just wondering, if you were living in the time of Joshua would you obey the command to slaughter all the Caananites, including the infants?
Nope. It’s unhealthy because the Bible demonstrates the Christian gods having a desire and preference for one thing then often doing the opposite. He doesn’t follow his own word or example; and thus is not perfect.
Nope, comes from the culture christianity has fostered for centuries.
This sounds like special pleading. We can't hold God to a standard because we cannot understand God's holiness and uniqueness and His relationship to humans? That makes no sense.
Dont need to base a relationship with GOD on silly modern worries like toxicity and red flags. That language used against GOD was so yrendy and silly.

It wouldn't be proof. That's a god of the gaps argument. Even if that is true the god of the bible is not real and it along with most religious texts are man made mythology.
The god you talk about is just a like spinozas god where god is the force of nature. But a god like that is not even a conscious agent but a force like gravity
@@downenout8705the big bang is a Christian idea,
Also science and atheism has no answer either. They simply remain happily in the dark that there is no answer or that one day we’ll answer it somehow.
Big panel of atheists and naturalists recently had a round table where they discuss a lot of these topics….Dawkins and the like
They all admitted that life and the fine tuning of the universe itself demands that’s there is evidence of design and purposeful resource management on a cellular level… but to remind themselves that it’s not a god.
That sounds like a science of the Gaps….
Enlightenment thinkers and modern science was literally born out of Christian values, and the few atheist enlightment thinkers that were vocal will make u think their shit don’t stink.
Hume and Voltaire said some repugnant things about dark people.
@downenout8705 I'll tell you what created the big bang. I learned it in science class. Energy waves, which are vibrations for more than likely. The big bangs creation when we speak. We produce energy. God spoke the world into existence, so he created the big bang. God is spiritual outside of time and space. It's also energy. We can not see the wind, but we can feel it.
I agree something had to CAUSE (using the word “create” smuggles in your conclusion) the Big Bang. Of course we don’t know yet, but much more likely it was quantum fields, which we have actual evidence for.
First you would need to have evidence this God exists before you can even begin to ascribe actions to it.
I’m sad for her… there’s only 2 ways… either you are heading up or down… follow Jesus ❤🙏🏻
❤️🙏
Yep, nothing like the Christian "hate" of a thinly veiled threat of extreme eternal torture, when you lack a coherent 1 Peter 3: 15 response.
@downenout8705 yea it's wild bro. Do what the bible said god said to do or be mercilessly tortured for eternity. But god loves you right??😂😂
On a serious note, you think heaven and he'll are real. Do you simply have to follow jesus to get into heaven? Are Muslims going to your hell? Who gets to come with you to heaven. You seriously think because this girl doubts and rationally comes to a conclusion different than you means she going to hell. What if she became atheist but tried to live a life as moral perfectionist. Does she go to hell still??
Hell ain't real bub neither is heaven. Keep believing in fairytale and judging people.
Please provide evidence for your claim that I'm heading either up or down. The Bible doesn't count as evidence, because it is the claim.
I think the Bible looks like a book of contradictions to everyone. But over time and with God's help those contradictions fade away. I think some people not all but some look for faults to justify going back to their sinful lives so they can claim this is one big lie. TC
@@muppetonmeds 💯💯
It is beyond ridiculous to suggest that someone would leave Christianity to sin, because doing so guarantees damnation even if you never sin. Staying Christian however allows you to sin without consequence providing you repent.
If you truly want to know why someone isn't a Christian just ask yourself why aren't you a Muslim or Hindu? I bet the answer isn't "because I want to sin against these gods".
You "think"? That's silly. People do not generally leave religion to justify going back to "sinful" lives. When I left my faith, I wasn't looking for faults, I was looking for truth. The claims of Christianity didn't hold up under scrutiny. It's that simple.
@@ErikInPortland You might need to reread my comment I never said it was the general of people I said some of the people. If that wasn't your case that's fine. And if you are living a clean life who am I to complain? Have a good night.
@@muppetonmeds I know what you said. And it doesn't matter if it's "some" or "all." You made an assertion that you can't back up and you assume a lot.
🤣Yes! Angry bald guy. I like him, despite his abrasiveness. Sharp as they come.
Yes, Sam has some good points! God bless him
When you cross, reference the Bible and examine each and every verse. You will find out that it does not contradict itself. And that God is extremely clear and what his expectations are or desires are for us. And you will find his desires are good. Yes, he has to dish out Justice. But he does not want anybody to go to hell. Just read second, Peter 3 and you will see.
The bible can not go past its first 2 chapters before it contradict itself. Genesis 1 and 2 don't have the same order of creation.
In genesis 1: plants > animal > humans(male and female)
In genesis 2: human male > plants > animals > human female
@drinjj I believe you were misinterpreting it. The part in Genesis 2 you are referring to is talking about when God made a garden. In addition to the creation he had already made. I hope you are choosing to read the whole entire chapter.
It'll give you a better understanding. I just narrowing in. Sometimes, even chapters are not completion of thought So you may have to read all the way into the next chapter to know when the essay is done or literature is done. Because the Bible was not originally made with chapters, it is actually a library of books. on a verse here or there....
@@zariahlafleurpowell7028 oh, I'm not misinterpreting. Genesis 2:5 say there was no plant yet. So the garden god planted was actually the first plants. Also, even if you were right, you would still be left to explain the contradiction about which came first: animals or humans.
@drinjj I am sorry but when you read verse 4. End 5 it says God had created the plants before the people. They may not have been on the Earth or in the earth, but they were created before people.
@@zariahlafleurpowell7028 i dont agree with your interpretation of 4-5 but in willing to grant it to you. You still have the same problem. Gen 1 state that they were in the ground and growing and producing fruits. Even if the problem is not about the "creation" anymore you still have a contradiction with the order of events. And you have yet to explain the issue with animals.
Just to correct one common mistake... Hell is NOT simply "total separation from God".
Hell is total separation from God's love, mercy, grace.
God will be present in Hell, and those there will be fully in the presence of His wrath.
So many that reject the Gospel say "I don't want to be with your God for eternity anyways"... well, they WILL be with Him.
@@usa2tube Thanks for clarifying! ❤️🙏 That is so true!💯💯🙏 I will be making that more clear in future videos. Once again thank you for pointing that out and God bless you! ❤️
It’s like Psalm 139 says: “I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night- but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.”
It takes work to research to find the contradicti. Since or not there, it takes work to find that there are contradictions. A lot of contradictions are simply misunderstandings
